A numerical solution strategy for calculating equilibrium free surfaces of a ferrofluid drop under the action of uniform magnetic fields is proposed. Based on this strategy, drop shapes of nonlinear magnetisable fluids are obtained numerically in a wide range of field intensities and compared with existing theoretical results.
